You may be aware of my fandom for all things Anderson Valley — there’s just so much to like coming from there vintage after vintage. This clone specific Pinot Noir is one of the Pommard family, and it shows it was worthy of its own bottling with a pretty mix of black cherry, damp earth and moderate oak char aromas and flavors that ride a plush opening through a bright finish. I’d age this a little while, or decant well if you wish to try this in the near term.
